Question

About how long does it take to have a dream at average?

Answer 1

Dreams can vary in length depending on how long we have slept. When we first go to sleep it takes us about an hour to have our first dream, which lasts about 15 minutes on the average. From then on we have a dream about every hour with the time shortening the more sleep we have. By the end of the night, some of our dreams can last nearly 45 minutes or more.

How does science learn things like this?

Neuro-scanning devices and methods, such as electroencephalograms can be used to determine changes in brain frequencey, function, and operation. The way the brain changes from regular sleep to dream-sleep can clearly be seen during one of such scans.
